Tenglong Cave is one of the earlier scenic spots, with rich and varied landscapes and well-developed facilities. The most recommended attraction is the large-scale song and dance performance "Yishui Lichuan," which allows you to understand the migration and changes of the Tujia people in 40 minutes and provides you with rich cultural insights.

The underground river at the entrance is quite impressive. Actually, walking through it isn&#39;t tiring, and it&#39;s mostly flat ground, which is quite user-friendly. You can buy a shuttle bus ticket if needed. The show inside is a must-see! It&#39;s absolutely fantastic!

Tenglong Cave, a national 5A-level scenic area, is located in Lichuan City, Hubei Province. It is one of the world&#39;s top-class caves, renowned for its magnificent scenery and constant temperature environment. The performance was excellent.

Finally, I came to the Tenglong Cave that I had longed for. As soon as I arrived at the scenic spot, the beautiful scenery of mountains and clear waters came into view. When I walked to the entrance of the cave, I saw the majestic &quot;Wolong Swallowing the River&quot; waterfall, like thousands of troops galloping into the water cave. Entering the cave, the colorful stalactites and stalagmites are in different shapes, as if entering a dream world. What is even more amazing is the performance in the cave. The original ecological song and dance &quot;Yishui Lichuan&quot; shows the charm of Tujia culture, and the laser show is also very shocking. The trip to Tenglong Cave made me feel the uncanny workmanship of nature and the unique ethnic customs. It was really an unforgettable experience.

It is the largest karst cave in China and the seventh longest cave in the world. It is one of the world&#39;s top caves. It consists of the Water Cave, Dry Cave, Catfish Cave, Liangfeng Cave, Dujiazhai, three Dragon Gates, Huaxiankeng and other scenic spots. The entire Tenglong Cave complex has five layers, including more than 300 branch caves of different sizes. It is a provincial scenic spot in Hubei Province.

Except that the tickets are a bit expensive, everything else is ok! What needs to be improved is the return transportation. The scenic area is relatively remote and there is no connecting bus back to the city. You can't get a taxi online at all. You have to walk for about half an hour to the street in the village to take the bus.

The experience is very good, but you need to rent a down jacket to enter the cave, otherwise you will catch a cold easily. I remind friends who are going to visit that it is best to bring their own jackets. The scenic area has beautiful scenery and there are song and dance performances.

My wife and I were spending the summer in Sumadang, Lichuan, Enshi, and drove to the long-awaited Dragon Boat Water Village Scenic Area, the birthplace of the nationally famous Lichuan song, &quot;My sister wants to cross the river, who will push me?&quot; The scenic area is quite good. Admission is free for those under 70 years old, and the price is 120 yuan (including the boat ticket inside the cave). We, between 60 and 70 years old, bought half-price tickets for 60 yuan (also including the boat ticket inside the cave). There are also dragon boat tickets for 30 yuan, which you can choose not to buy, walk there and back, buy a ticket and then take the boat to walk there and back, or walk there and take the boat back. We thought we would be a little tired after walking all the way to see the scenery, so we chose to walk there and take the boat back to the scenic area gate. As soon as you enter the cave, you will see a landscape introduction written by Mr. Yu Qiuyu. The scenery along the way is nice, and the boat ride in the cave is also beautiful. Tourists are singing and talking with the tour guide on the boat, &quot;I&#39;m the one pushing it! It&#39;s so lively and cheerful! But it&#39;s a pity that the cultural performance is a bit disappointing. The stage is too bad, the actors&#39; emotions are not full, the movements are a bit perfunctory, all the lines and background music are played on the speakers, the actors&#39; mouth shapes are not right or even don&#39;t open their mouths, which is a bit disappointing! Compared with the song and dance performance in Tenglong Cave, it&#39;s simply a world of difference! It is recommended that the scenic spot pay attention to this issue and change the performance content. Use the folk song &quot;My sister wants to cross the river, who will push me?&quot; which is popular all over the country and even the world as the theme to create a program. It will definitely attract more tourists. This song is more famous than the Dragon Boat Water Village. I remember that Song Zuying sang this song at the Vienna New Year&#39;s Concert, and even foreigners echoed &quot;I&#39;m the one pushing it!&quot;

1. There is no bus service, but you can hail the &quot;Lichuan-Liangwu&quot; long-distance bus at the Lichuan long-distance bus station. After getting on the bus, tell the driver that you want to go to the scenic spot. The fare is about 3 yuan. There are also some direct buses to the scenic spot. If you drive by yourself, it is easy to park.
2. The scenic spot is the birthplace of the famous folk song &quot;Dragon Boat Tune&quot;. The whole journey is a circular journey with no turning back. If you want to watch all the performances, you need to arrive at the tourist center at 9:00 or 10:30 to watch the first performance &quot;Welcome Drum&quot; (Tujia men beat drums and dance), and then walk to the next performance point at a normal speed to catch up with the next performance. The official time planning is very scientific. The next &quot;Shake Up&quot; is the Tujia girl leading tourists to shake and dance, and cooperate with tourists to take pictures.
3. After checking your ticket, cross the &quot;Yaoyan Bridge&quot; (a Tujia-style bridge with a dragon boat skeleton on top, very creative), walk along the flowery and fragrant walking path on both sides to the &quot;Rumeng Bridge&quot; (an ordinary small arched wooden bridge), and then to the &quot;Cai Lian Ferry&quot; pier. The landscape of the suspended wine jars and flowing wine next to it is very popular. The performance &quot;Dragon Boat Wine Song&quot; here at 9:25 was cancelled for some reason. There is a fork in the road here. Going up the mountain road will miss the most essential dry caves, water caves and performances. It is recommended to take the main road by the water to enter the &quot;Shuilian Cave&quot;.
4. Once you enter the cave, you will see &quot;A Thousand Years of Looking Back&quot;, which is a large open-air cave like a skylight on the top of the cave, with vines hanging down and full of vitality. At 9:35, the &quot;Lotus Fairy&quot; performance, a beautiful woman emerged from a gradually blooming big lotus and danced gracefully, and the water mist under the bridge was like a fairyland. Then enter the &quot;Sanyuan Cave&quot;. The &quot;Muye Chuanqing&quot; at 9:45 is the most magnificent of all the performances, with mountains, water and boats. The story is that the three brothers of the Tujia Mou family successively passed the imperial examinations.
5. Continue forward to the &quot;Four Seasons Cave Song&quot;. You will take a boat through a 2-kilometer-long water cave, which is the most essential part of the panoramic area. Put on a life jacket and get on the boat. Each boat has about 20 people. The dark cave is full of unpredictable colors. The same landscape shows different charm under different colors of lights. The 20-minute boat trip is fleeting in the dazzling snapshots. After landing, you will reach the entrance of the cave after passing through a colorful dry cave.
6. The process of leaving the cave is the process of gradually rising the temperature by 20℃. Arrive at the &quot;Emotional Flower Valley&quot;. There will be a performance of &quot;Mountain Village Happy Song&quot; at 10:30. If you arrive early, you can grab the seats with awnings. The actresses will stand here to prepare for entry in the early stage, and you can interact with them at close range and take photos. The performance started with the dancing of Tujia boys and girls, followed by the most awesome folk songs played with leaves, and finally all the actors toasted the audience with white wine. This show is the most interactive among all the performances, but the dialect is hard to understand.
7. Go down the mountain to &quot;Longmen Ferry&quot;, passing by photo frames such as dragon boats, rose frames and moon boats, surrounded by green grass and wild flowers. Then go down to the river bank. Longmen Ferry is a Tujia-style wharf with crisscrossing and sharp-edged architectural shapes. The best photo effect is at the high observation deck. The ticket price for returning to the entrance by boat is 30 yuan, or you can walk on the wooden plank road along the river, and the scenery is the same. The lower level of the cruise ship is a seat, and the upper level is a platform with better photo effects. The cruise ship returns to the entrance of the scenic area and the tour ends. There is a dense lotus pond at the entrance of the parking lot. It is very beautiful under the blue sky and white clouds, but it is a bit out of place next to the scenic area.

The first show starts at 10:00 every day outside the main gate, and there are three more shows every 30 minutes inside and outside the cave. You can walk slowly. If you walk fast, you will have to wait for the show. The world&#39;s first wet cave is well-deserved. It is 30 degrees outside the cave and 10 degrees inside the cave. You can rent clothes for 20 yuan inside the cave. It takes 2 kilometers to enter the cave by boat. The lights in the cave are colorful, and the last show at the exit of the cave is the most exciting. It is worth visiting.
